Full story: I published it before Ashlee published his, and I haven't read that one so I don't know what the difference is. But someone at Reddit (<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/elonmusk/comments/48mdf4/ive_written_a_free_elon_musk_biography_book/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/elonmusk/comments/48mdf4/ive_writte...</a>) told me:<p>"Interestingly, as I was reading the Ashlee Vance book, I actually had to flip back to yours in order to fill in gaps that Vance had left behind. I also enjoyed the extra stories that you placed in the book - the Winston Churchill story comes to mind."<p>But it didn't sell that well because marketing is difficult even though it got good grades 4/5 at Goodreads and a lot of upvotes when I posted the first version here (<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6256959" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6256959</a>).<p>So I thought why not give it away for free because I think what Elon is doing is important and selling a few copies a month is not making me happier anyway.
